YOUR AGE

 

 

 

 

For the ideal “weight loss” range, your heart rate should be between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go above your target zone.Refer to Diagram 23 for your appro- priate target zone.

When you maintain your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate, you are improving your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespira- tory fitness level. Maintaining your heart rate in either zone (weight loss or cardio- vascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum 3 times a week) provides the greatest benefits.

MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICKSTART KEY

Manual mode (C956 and C954) lets you control the incline and running belt speed which affects the effort you put into your workout. As with other courses, when you complete the time limit set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.

You can choose Manual mode in two different ways:

pressing the QuickStart key at the Precor banner. QuickStart bypasses the remaining selections and starts the Manual course. Default values include a time limit set by the Club, a weight value of 150 lbs. (68 kg.) and an age of zero. The SmartRate® display is inactive.
